    Whatever we think of his dealing in the transfer market his health is more important than football. Heres hoping you beat the horrible disease like i did all the best Gregg.

    Personally I thought he did a lousy job with the quality of our signings/targets over the past couple of seasons.

    However, I wish him well with his treatment and hope he makes a full recovery. Get well soon Greg

    Spent a few hours with him when Stuart left and I can only say what a humble and likeable chap he was.Now would not be appropriate to question things, he was a loyal servant to the Club and gave it 24/7.His battle now will require his full attention.I wish him a successful outcome to his treatment and hope his family receive the support they need.Chin up mate.

    What awful news. I hope Greg has a speedy recovery and I wish him well. He shows his true professionalism by preparing for next season. That puts all our whinging into perspective.

    I'm amazed at how someone could keep his professionalism and work out a contingency plan for players we might need, whilst processing the thought of a life-threatening disease.

    Admirable. Wish him and his family all the best.

    No matter what you thought of his transfer dealings put that all to one side and let's all hope he makes a speedy recovery.

    He's leaving a list of players for the manager for every position.

    Greg it's fine, no need. Really!

    Just concentrate on getting better.

    Not good news, hopefully it is an early diagnosis and he should be fine, he was a battler on the pitch he won't have a problem with battling this bastard disease, great strides have been made with this cancer, get well soon Greg.

    Hopefully Greg will smash it and return fighting fit.
    I know many lads who are living today because they caught it in time.
    It also sends out a message to all us blokes to get regular psa checks.
    I'm sure Greg will meet this next challenge like he played his football and beat the bastard disease.
